Finance Projects Business Partner

Fixed term for 12 months

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

We are looking to recruit an experienced accountant who can support a range of activities across the University’s Finance function.

Their portfolio will be varied and will change based on priorities at the time, which will allow the individual to be involved in a variety of interesting and challenging pieces of work and will provide the opportunity to build excellent experience.

This role will become involved in a variety of work across Management Accounting, Financial Services and Faculty and Services finance teams. There is also likely to be strategic project involvement, as we move forward with the Corporate Processes & Systems programme, which will implement a new Planning tool, General Ledger reporting platform and operating model

Much of the work is expected to focus on project delivery, finance business partnering and financial planning & analysis work, but there may also be some involvement in financial accounting and reporting activity, including Year end and the preparation of the OfS Financial return.

• 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s over 40 days a year!
